Captain of Nigeria’s women’s national football team, Rasheedat Ajibade, has paid a visit to the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), where she presented her WAFCON 2024 medal and trophies to the General Overseer, Dr. Daniel Olukoya, and his wife, Shade Olukoya.
The visit took place on Saturday during the church’s monthly “Power Must Change Hands” programme at its international headquarters in Lagos. Among those in attendance were Lagos State First Lady, Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, and the Chief of Staff to the Lagos State Government, Mr. Tayo Ayinde.
Ajibade, who led the Super Falcons to their historic 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title, handed over her Woman of the Match award and a specially customized Super Falcons jersey bearing “OLUKOYA 01” to the church leaders in a symbolic show of appreciation and spiritual homage. 
Dr. Olukoya later took to Instagram to acknowledge the gesture, describing Ajibade’s triumph as a testimony to the power of God’s grace.
“We celebrate the faithfulness of God in the life of our very own Rasheedat Ajibade,” Olukoya, known for his love for football and sponsorship of the MFM Football club wrote.
“We give God all the glory for His grace upon her life and pray that the same grace that has brought her and the team this far will continue to lead them into even greater victories.”
Ajibade, currently playing for Atlético Madrid Femenino in Spain, began her football journey with MFM FC’s women’s team, a grassroots outreach of the church aimed at empowering young talent through sports.
Known for her strong Christian values, the 25-year-old midfielder has never shied away from acknowledging her spiritual foundation.
Ajibade’s visit came a week after Nigeria’s Super Falcons defeated host nation Morocco 3-2 in a thrilling final to win the 2024 WAFCON trophy in Rabat. Throughout the tournament, she played a pivotal role, not only as team captain but also as one of the standout performers on the pitch.
